In the previous sub-section, the operating principle and model description of the biomimetic sensor was described. In this sub-Section, its physical implementation using electro-optical (EO) modulator system and its numerical model are described. The EORC is a physical implementation of the Reservoir Computer (RC) computational framework which is a generalisation of a traditional artificial neural-network (ANN) based on the recurrent neural-network (RNN) [1]}, [2]}, [3]}, [4]}. For detail on the framework of the RC, the reader is referred to [4]}. Figure REF (d) shows a schematic of the architecture of an RC scheme. An RC system consists of three main parts, namely an input, a kernel and a Read-Out layer. The origin of the name `Reservoir Computer' comes from the architecture of the RC which features a `kernel' that is a reservoir containing a large number of neurons.
